What the study found

Who was studied 434,646 British ancestry individuals, 8,796 British Central/South Asian individuals, 6,573 British African individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.02 % higher (95% confidence interval 0.02-0.02); p = 3 × 10−16.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19p13.11 — in an intron of MAST3.

What each result means

G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Triglycerides to Total Lipids in Chylomicrons and Extremely Large VLDL percentage — no copies of the reported risk allele.
G/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Triglycerides to Total Lipids in Chylomicrons and Extremely Large VLDL percentage.
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Triglycerides to Total Lipids in Chylomicrons and Extremely Large VLDL percentage compared to the general population.

Questions about rs66464318

What is rs66464318?

rs66464318 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MAST3 gene. Published research associates it with triglycerides to total lipids in chylomicrons and extremely large vldl percentage. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs66464318 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Cholesterol (LDL, HDL and Total). The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs66464318 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs66464318 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:41044249. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
